Back to School 2012: Foster a love for reading with these gorgeous books from the Princess Parables Series ( + Giveaway) 5/8 ( US / CAN)

 Zonderkidz has some awesome books for children and as a parent, I have enjoyed every single book from Zonderkidz. It is an absolute pleasure to read to my son. I know I am depositing a love for reading in heart at a young age.

Introducing the Princess Parables by Jeanna Young!

 In PRINCESS HOPE AND THE HIDDEN TREASURE (Zonderkidz; $12.99), based on Matthew 13:44-45,the oldest princess sister finds her grandmother's missing ring for sale at a local jeweler. The price is too high, even for a princess, and she must find a way to raise money to buy it. Is Princess Hope willing to make a huge sacrifice to retrieve the heirloom? And will God reward her selflessness with an unexpected treasure?  

PRINCESS CHARITY'S COURAGEOUS HEART (Zonderkidz; $12.99;) is the charming retelling of the Good Samaritan story. Princess Charity has always been the adventurous sister. So while out horseback riding one day, she witnesses an accident. Will the courageous princess defy her father's orders to save an injured young boy?

PRINCESS FAITH'S MYSTERIOUS GARDEN (Zonderkidz; $12.99) introduces readers of the series to Faith, the thoughtful sister who discovers an abandoned garden within the castle walls. Determined to restore the garden's beauty, she enlists her sisters to risk getting dirty by digging and planting. But each time the garden begins to bloom, problems arise - menacing crows, the blistering sun, or a violent storm. True to her name, and as told in Matthew 13:1-23, Princess Faith learns that hard work and trust in God bring rewards.  

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these books! They are easy to read and interesting for a little boy. My son not only learned good lessons through the stories but also saw the "adventurous" side of the princesses who are always dressed to perfection from head to toe!

We read these for bedtime and never got bored of it. The colorful illustrations  draws the attention of a child. Like most princess books, I didn't find them to have a "pink" overtone. The balance was perfect and that's why my little boy loves it. If it was overly pink, he would happily given them away to his friend and would have missed out on all the valuable lessons from the stories.

I will be buying these books for some of my son's friends!
